Entropia Universe -Evolution « Thread Started on Aug 13, 2009, 5:58am »
2 years ago when I joined to it, its already got outdated graphic engine. But there was something, that drawn me in. I still can't decide what, so maybe there are two things. -Looting The good old feeling. You kill something, and hope the best. (In some popular mmos, looting is secondary. You know what you gonna get, or looted stuffs way worst, than manufactured.) And the real word economy add some bonus, because if you get something big, you can withdraw the price of it. Of course its not happen, but there are a slight chance. So lets say its kind of a casino. -Society Socs are everything! And way more active than in other mmos. Maybe because you can't do anything without other ppls. Yes this game offers the less activity ever. Hunting, mining, manufacturing (weapons, tools, clothes, misc stuffs), sweating(this is the only free way to get some money, and its boring). Without a good soc I was might quit after 2 weeks. But hunting whit others, getting Globals, and Hall of Fame loots, are very exciting!
But that is the PAST. Its Evolving!! Cry Engine 2!! YAY!!
After more than half year delay, finally, its announced: Aug 14 - old server close / pre download starts Aug 17 - servers reopen
If they can keep that date, Entropia will be the first mmo whit CryEngine2. And maybe the best looking... hmm, who cares? Its not only for the graphic, but new, game changing features! Day night cycle, and its effects. More planets, trough a PlanetPartner project. Vehicle physics. Real space flying (There was before, but like: take seat, push button, pilot select destination, some shaking, and you are there) And more! Who knows what to come?

Yea, it is nice when games go through more heavy developement steps once in a while, like your exmaple, getting from Cryengine 1 to cryengine 2. Still it would be more amazing if they were intending to reach cryengine 3 very soon. Because the third is pretty new, and cryengine 2 is getting older already......
Also, im not very much into Entropia, but im doubting that the other functions of the game is changing as much as the graphic quality....

Honestly though I have tryed this game out before. . . .
Biggest problem with the game is if you play it for free your in for one hell of a ride casue this game is based off of using mostly real life currency to get in game currency. Not to mention it was not only really hard to get sweat off the mobs at starting but it was also harder to get buyers seeing alot fo paying memebers could jstu easely go out and get it themself's. Honestly it was a good concept but the whole method they took to get money was what kinda killed it for me.
